Since the storm there are multiple tree limbs still down. Last night a limb fell and is blocking the handicap parking spot and is a hazard hanging over the water fountain as well. Also the playground is a mess with tall weeds and thistle as well as in need for mulch.
Hi. All 3 ball fields at Bryan Park are in disarray. None of them are a complete field; each one is missing multiple bases, pitching mounds, home plate, etc. They are also a hazard to players and the overgrown grass makes it a challenge to see the bases that are still there. As someone who regularly coaches kids and plays in adult rec league ball, it would be amazing to have at least one park in town that has decent ball fields open to the public. Thanks!
There is a bench next to the basketball court that is surrounded by beaten down dirt and tree roots. I would be more attractive if the ground around it was covered by wood chips.
Park Ridge Park needs wood chips around the bench to the east of the basketball court. The ground is packed dirt and tree roots.
There is one broken slat and one depressed slat on the little wooden foot bridge in front of the Bryan Park restrooms.
Lots of homeless. Doing drug cussing passing out. Yelling. At a kids park. It is getting bad. I like taking my daughter here
I'm writing to express my gratitude for the efforts Bloomington Parks and Rec is making to support reduce pollution, save money, and support native species and ecosystem services in our city parks. I've been particularly delighted to see former areas of lawn in Winslow Park and Crestmont Park converted to no mow zones and planted with native trees! After just a short period of time, these areas are already supporting wildlife and adding natural beauty (asters were blooming today!) in a ways that mowed lawns never could. Thank you for supporting these no mow zones - I'd love to see more of them!
Please keep introducing new no mow zones in public parks to increase the growth of native plant species and increase biodiversity in our town. Increasing these spaces can greatly improve the quality of life in the surrounding area, not just for humans but also for many crucial insects and animals in our city.
sharps box (for needles / biohazard) at 9th street / rev butler park is full. the one at the bathroom at the top of the hill. thanks!
This is the 3rd time I have reported that the grass on the south side of the walking path around the Winslow Ball fields need cut, this is city property not privet property, also many of the thorny trees in the greasy area needs removed or cut down, they are a hazard to those who uses rhe walking path I do not know what company does mowing but they need to know to cut this mess! thank you.
